Hair salons and barber shops have come a long way from their early incarnations as utilitarian spaces to get a quick trim. These days, many are trendy, experiential settings where clients can relax amid cutting-edge design, cool art, and cocktails. Several of these hot spots feature Vibia’s Wireflow and Wireflow Chandelier, a dramatic fixture by Arik Levy that adds to the ambience.

The Barber’s Club in Palma, Mallorca, transcends traditional notions of haircut establishments with an innovative design by Minimal Studio that doubles as an espresso and whiskey bar and an art or event space in the evening.

A mélange of pale wood floors, exposed brick walls, and sleek black-and-white furnishings form the backdrop of a hair salon in Bydgoszcz, Poland. Hanging over the reception desk, the Wireflow chandelier anchors the airy interior with an elegant, ethereal presence.

In Logroño, Spain, Diriondostudio designed a space for Alvaro the Barber, recently honored as the best barber in Spain. A classic barber shop reimagined in a contemporary context, the interior features a vintage, early-20th-century industrial look layered with signature Scandinavian touches.

Olive-green painted walls, handmade subway-tile walls, and faux-wood floors pair with black Scandinavian wood and metal chairs and shelving. Spare and unadorned like the space it inhabits, Wireflow captures the restrained, industrial feel of the room. Situated above the reception desk, the fixture creates an immediate cutting-edge mood and initiates the masculine colour scheme with its minimalist black wiring.
